So what ? So why do you think someone has created C++ when all features (Template == generics, exceptions and so on), were already available in Ada ? What is the superior feature that justifies the creation of C++ at a time where Ada were already long available ? So _your_ question should not "what is the advantage of Ada over C++" your question should be "what was the advatange of creating C++" ? So _if_ you know the answer, please let us know.
